Slim Dusty An Old Fashioned Locket Lyrics:
It's just and old fashioned locket and a curl,
Between an old fashioned picture of a girl,
If she were only here today, but the girl who went away,
Her golden hair, so young and fair,
Would now be silver-grey.

She had an old fahioned sweetness in her smile,
That makes her picture seem to me a priceless pearl
Throughtout these long and empty years,
I've shed a lot of lonely tears,
Upon an old fashioned locket and a curl.

[Instrumental]

[Spoken]
Sitting by the fireside where the embers gently glow,

Mem'ries come to me of long ago,
In my hand I gently hold a little souvenier,
And when I think of her, I shed a silent tear,

[Sung]
Upon and old fashioned locket and a curl.
Between an old fashioned picture of a girl,
If she were only here today, but the girl who went away,
Her golden hair, so young and fair
Would now be silver-grey.

She had an old fahioned sweetness in her smile,
That makes her picture seem to me a priceless pearl,
Throughtout these long and empty years,
I've shed a lot of lonely tears,
Upon an old fashioned locket and a curl.
(And a curl)
